The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ The Philosophic and Practical Basis of the Religion of the Aquarian Age of the World and of The Church Universal
"The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi H. Dowling is a book published in 1908. Dowling claimed to have transcribed this text from the akashic records, a mystical compendium of knowledge existing on a non-physical plane. The work fills the eighteen "missing years" of Jesus's life between ages twelve and thirty, depicting his travels to India, Tibet, Persia, Greece, and Egypt, where he studies with religious teachers. It presents Jesus as an exemplar of human potential, incorporates reincarnation and karma, and heralds the coming Aquarian Age.

The book explores the lesser-known aspects of Jesus Christ's life, particularly focusing on Notovitch's travels in Tibet, where he claims to have discovered ancient texts about Jesus.

He shares his encounters with Buddhist monks who tell him about significant texts archived in Lhasa that discuss the life of Jesus, referred to by them as "Issa." As he continues his journey through mountainous regions and villages, he experiences various cultural and religious practices that draw parallels between Buddhism and Christianity, hinting at a deep exploration of the spiritual connections between the two religions. This opening portion sets up Notovitch’s investigation into the life and teachings of Jesus as seen through the lens of Tibetan Buddhism and promises an intriguing account of his findings.
